A car accident can affect much more than your vehicle. The sudden movement created during a collision can strain muscles, joints, and other structures throughout the neck and back.
If you are dealing with pain or stiffness after an accident, an auto injury chiropractor in Federal Way can evaluate your symptoms and help determine an appropriate course of conservative care.
Chiropractic Physicians Inc., P.S. provides individualized chiropractic care for people recovering from motor vehicle collision injuries throughout Federal Way and nearby communities.

Common Auto Accident Injuries
People respond differently to auto accidents. Symptoms can also change during the days following a collision.
Common concerns include:
- Whiplash
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Lower back pain
- Muscle and soft tissue injuries
- Shoulder discomfort
- Headaches
- Reduced mobility
- Back stiffness or soreness
Our goal is to understand how the accident has affected your movement and everyday activities and create a treatment plan based on your individual condition.
Your First Auto Injury Visit
During your first appointment, your chiropractor will discuss the accident, your current symptoms, and how your condition has changed since the collision.
An examination may include assessments of posture, movement, range of motion, muscle function, and other areas related to your symptoms.
Based on the findings, your treatment plan may include chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, soft tissue treatment, massage therapy, or other conservative approaches when appropriate.
Understanding Auto Insurance and PIP
Washington drivers may have Personal Injury Protection coverage as part of their auto insurance policy. PIP can help pay certain medical expenses resulting from an accident regardless of who caused the collision, although coverage depends on the individual policy.
Patients should contact their insurance carrier when they have questions regarding specific coverage, benefits, or claim requirements.
